Fill in the blanks....,.
This is to cordially invite _____________ to become a participating sponsor of the 2nd Annual Evelyn Knapp “Run to Remember” to be held at Sunken Meadow State Park on Sunday, November 20, 2011.
Our Inaugural 5K Run attracted 520 registrants and was preceded by the Donal Hughes ½ mile “Fun Run” with more than 60 children participating. The proceeds go directly into the programs that Strength for Life offers ‘free of charge’ to cancer patients. We expect 1000+ this year since the course is one of the most challenging in the Northeast and last year the run was professional and timely. Last year 9,000 applications were distributed – 6,000 directly mailed to runners – _______ can appear on all of them and much more….
Strength for Life provides exercise classes, equipment and wellness retreats to cancer patients on Long Island at no cost to participants. Founded in 2007, in memory of Evelyn Knapp, who lost her battle with breast cancer at 40 years old. As an exercise physiologist Evelyn knew the benefits of exercise and personally experienced how it helped during treatment. We became Certified Cancer Exercise Specialists hoping to share the information and empower cancer patients/survivors to feel their absolute best and regain their ‘strength for life’. After our first breast cancer support group presentation we knew we had to offset the costs somehow because cancer patients have astronomical costs even when they have insurance.
Strength for Life has recently been featured in Long Island Business News, featured on FIOS1 ‘My LITV” and ‘Live it UP’ Ch. 55 and honored by Long Island Press ‘Fortune 52’ celebrating Long Island’s unique and inspirational women. With that recognition comes growth and greater need for funds to maintain the programs at no cost.
What we are looking for from ______________ would be sponsorship of one of the many costs involved in the race. In return for your support your name and logo would appear on the thousands of applications that will be distributed throughout Long Island, on our website, on the race day apparel and mentioned in all pre-race and post-race publicity. We would be happy to cooperate in any and all other media opportunities that can further enhance the image of the event and __________ as an official sponsor.
We have an almost unlimited range of events to offer _________ a part in from sponsoring the race day apparel, printing applications, finish line service, to trophies, food and race numbers.
